NORYL GTX™ Resin

Description

NORYL GTX blends polyamide (PA) and modified polyphenylene ether polymer (PPE) technology. It combines the dimensional stability, low water absorption and heat resistance of PPE polymer with the chemical resistance and flow of PA polymer. The result is an extremely chemically resistant material with the stiffness, impact resistance and heat performance required for on-line painting. The low density of unfilled NORYL GTX resin can provide part-weight savings of up to 25% over glass or mineral filled resins.

Benefits

LOW TEMPERATURE IMPACT STRENGTH

Impact-modified grades offer a broad range of low temperature ductility.

HIGH HEAT RESISTANCE

Superior heat resistance for a variety of demanding applications

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Broad environmental resistance to commonly used automotive fuels, greases, and oils - plus, resistance to detergents, alcohols, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, and alkaline chemicals.

LOW MOLD SHRINKAGE

Minimum shrinkage, particularly with filled grades

ON-LINE PAINTABILITY

Heat performance enables on-line paint decoration, including in automotive body panels

GOOD DIMENSIONAL STABILITY

Maintains dimensionality and complex geometry over time

CLASS A SURFACE APPEARANCE

Capable of taking a Class A surface for high-visibility applications

LOW WATER ABSORPTION

Very low moisture absorption compared to polyamide alone
